Cupid

We give each other cards and a little something. I got him some chocolate turtles with cashews. We usually go out to dinner but we will probably wait. Dinner on a Saturday Night that is Valentine's Day will be crazy busy.

Sounds very nice, T.H.

That's a lovely Av. I dont know that I've ever seen you use an av of yourself before. Honestly, I did not know at first if you were M or F. The Av suits you. :)
 
I was thinking about that, Neci. The cards you passed out as kids in the classroom. Making those homemade card boxes and sitting them on your desk. Saving the special card for the boy you had a crush on. It's a great holiday for kids.

the boy's crush is getting a gollum "my precious" card. the girl doesn't understand why she has to give the mean boy a card. it's quite comical.
 
We have a lot of lovin' feelin' flowing between us lately, and a lot to celebrate, so we've definitely got a few things planned this year, mostly of the homemade variety. We're cooking surf n' turf together, and I'm baking a red velvet cake for dessert. He bought me a lot of cute and flirty underthings, mostly because I needed a bigger size of everything to accommodate the growing Rutabaga. I'm going to make an effort to don full hair and makeup and the laciest of the underthings, and there will be candlelight and pampering. So really, just a lovely evening in, but we've had so much to accomplish lately and so much running around to do, that a lovely evening in sounds like just what Cupid ordered. :)

This is so darn cute. I Love the open, honesty of kids. :)

This sounds wonderful, Farrah. I think cooking together is so fun. It tops my list of favorite things to do. I hope you two have a special weekend. It would be the icing on your fab year.

Thank you, sweet pea. Next weekend we'll be moving into our new place, and it will be back to all hustle and bustle. But the good kind. :)
 
she settled on "you are the cat's me-wow!" for the mean boy. me-wow was the closest word to meanie in the pack of cards. :D

This is the best thing I have read today, and the exact sort of reasoning I would come up with to allow me to do the nice thing and give the brat his dang valentine.

sometimes you just have to buckle down and be nice. even if they spit on you and pull your hair.
 
I buy some flowers and chocolates for my girls.

Cliche', I know, but it seems to make them happy.

Ugh. What a little shit. His mama needs to teach him a thing or two, for sure. :mad:

Short hijack...a guy who bullied me mercilessly all through school got in touch with me last year. Turns out we live really close to one another now, and he asked Clutch and I out to dinner. That evening, he delivered the most sincere and awesome apology I have ever received. He had spent a lot of time over the years thinking about what he had put me through, how he had made me feel. And evidently, he'd matured enough, changed enough, to want to express his shame and regret.

That was the first of many evenings out with him. And he's been in our home for dinner and game nights. Next weekend, he's using his truck and trailer to help us move. I can honestly say that we're the best of friends now. It's kinda surreal.

But yeah, I know all about mean little shits. :)
 
I'm in a new relationship and we don't often get nights out together because of kids, plus there is that whole "I'm so happy you aren't like my ex, let's celebrate that!" feeling. So yeah, we're making a big deal of it just for the fun of making a big deal of it. He has a suite booked, reservations for dinner, and pre-date spa day for me was my gift along with a trip to a boutique earlier in week where I modeled LBD's and lingerie for him. We've had a pretty great time and I'm delighted by the attention - it's been a long time since I felt like my joy was someone's priority.

That being said, I know this is over the top and I don't expect or require it...but god it's been fun!
 
I've been busier than a horny dog at a leg convention and I just realized tonight that it's Valentine's Day this weekend. Luckily my wife doesn't care.

Normally we go to dinner, but we don't do gifts.

Enjoy it, sometimes you just need to fill up all the holes you have developed over the years.
I know we did stuff like that, filled each other full to overflowing with happiness and regard for each other.
It was cool, a bit strange but oddly comfortable. I still feel it.

This is lovely, Noor. Thanks.

I think the biggest hurdle I had to overcome was myself. I kept trying to put breaks on because I was afraid that without them we surely had to be headed down a path I am in no way ready for. Then it hit me - I can feel and do and want things without the relationship having to reach some destination. Whereas when I was a younger woman, the need to grow roots with was always looming.

I really like your version. Filling up the voids with happiness and regard. I'm going to bring that up in our conversations I bet. :)

I will tell you a story someday...
 
I'm a very low key holiday celebrator. Valentine's day is barely a blip on my radar. After Valentine's day chocolate sales rate higher.

My three favourite days if the year are the days after Valentines day, Easter and Xmas cuz all the chocolate is on sale. :D
